>>97381130>It's roughly accurate though. All the named Haltan cities from the AT8D maps are around that area.Alright. Well, if I don't read the map wrong, the marked area is still several hundred miles across, something like 700 miles x 300-400 miles, so pretty a pretty sizeable kingdom.>>97382441Fetich death is still a form of death, and what follows it is a new Primordial, not the one whose fetich was slain. Apparently some kind of corpse was left behind by when He Who Bleeds the Unknown Word was slain and Elloge was born, which sounds fine.
>>97384446I vibe strongly with the better designed coastline in the north... But that sea in the south west is bad. To large for being so far from the pole of water.
>>97385187All five elements are present if each and every part of Creation. Element of the closest Elemental Pole dominates, but it's not really the case that a given element gets rarer the further away you get from the relevant Pole - if it was, driest Direction would be East rather than South. An ocean in the Southeast doesn't really clash with any part of how Creation works, so it's fine.
>>97373755As someone only just getting into 3e Siddies, anyone got advice for making Righteous Devil work?
>>97385195Okay then, at the intersection of furthest *and* dryest.

Have a slightly weird problem. My game is about a bunch of wandering ronin thematically (not literal feudal japan ronin, but nomadic warriors that fit the same archetype) and I have a clash between intended gameplay and the mechanics: the players automatically get bonuses when using their weapons for a roll, but I don't want the game to be combat focused. Without the bonus it feels thematically strange that they're mechanically "bad" at using their weapon, but games become what their mechanics are and with the bonus suddenly violence becomes your best bet for a lot of problems.I've considered saying >you get a bonus to using The Warrior's signature tool, which could be a weapon, shield, piece of armour, or anything elseBut I'm honestly having a real hard time of thinking about what people would realistically pick instead of weapons. Even if your PC put down the sword for the lute or a paintbrush it's hard to find opportunities to leverage something like that compared to a blade.>>97381978>>97382505>>97382174I'm going to go across the grain and suggest the opposite. If your system is blatantly d20/OSR the comparisons to 5e will exist for anyone who picks it up. There's nothing inherently wrong with "Roll twice and take the better result", which 5e didn't invent, players like rolling extra dice, and any speed difference with +flat mods will be completely negligible.Not saying advantage/disadvantage good and everything else bad, though. It depends on the rest of the system. It's a bit silly to introduce advantage here if all over bonuses are +2 or whatever, be consistent with it. Do you want bonuses to stack? Do you use flat numbers for bonuses or penalties elsewhere? Do you want more consistency in outcomes? Do you care about granularity? There's a ton of reasons not to use it, but if you really like it don't be allergic to it
>>97384995anon, wandering warriors will choose violence as their first way to solve problems. this is the thematically correct way to look at it, mechanical bonuses or not.You apparently want a game about wanderers who can fight and defend themselves but it's not their desired mode of solving problems.So ryutama or the like, playing a wandering merchant or a craftsman who can defend themselves.If you want people to not choose violence instantly the best way to regulate behaviour is experience. If you give more exp for non violent solutions they will gravitate towards those for meta reasons if anything. Or make situations that aren't best solved with violence the bread and butter of the game. Or give a similar bonus to other things outside of combat so they have an incentive to use said thing instead of constantly fighting
>>97371541Not a publisher per say, But if all you are looking for is printed material (rather than someone to sell them for you) I remember seeing a few online publishers that can cheaply print presized small books. Look for local family owned print shops too. Somewhere where you can actually talk to someone and they want your money.
>>97385154>it's not their desired mode of solving problems.I honestly don't mind if they desire it or resort to it first, I just want it so that when they use violence it's>I'm doing this because it's what my character would do or it seems like a good ideaand not>I'm doing this because violence gives me the higher rolling numberbut I think>make situations that aren't best solved with violence the bread and butter of the game. Or give a similar bonus to other things outside of combatAre my best options. The former should be fine because it's a game about getting tangled in the local affairs of wherever you end up at, and with the latter skills are freeform and give an equivalent bonus to the one you get from your weapon, but they can stack in theory so if you really wanted you could give yourself a combat background and stack it with the weapon bonus, but I suppose that's balanced by the fact you're specialising and giving up potential versatility elsewhere.

>>97375235Literally yes, moron.They are constantly interspersing production runs of old back catalogue models with new releases. They do not make massive piles of models and store them in vast warehouses (then pay for labour to have people unpack boxes and move sprues around). Utterly retarded thinking.

Just fucking release a box of like 20 MK7 helmets. They are clearly making them.
>>97384037I like mark 4 heads, primaris basically have mark 4 heads. Subtly different but basically. I even used a primaris librarian head and the back piece of a grey knights torso once to make a helmeted mark 4 librarian.I like mark 7 heads too. And 6, and so on.So nah don't care, what I dislike about primaris armour is the low neck and high midriff, the kneepads, the crappy backpack with a big circle on it... And of course the slightly too human proportions - the new regular marine proportions seen on chaos marines and Deathwatch veterans are kino. Half a head shorter than primaris, hitting a sweet spot where they look good but I can imagine them inhumanly broad under their armour.
>>97384654>primaris basically have mark 4 heads. Subtly different but basicallyThis anon is either blind or has never actually seen a Mk.IV helmet in person.
>>97384935If pic related are counted as "mk4" helmets, then the mk10 is just a mk4 off-shoot too.Also remember the mk6 helmet upgrades from the Horus Heresy game?Btw, according to GW all of the helmets in these links are considered "mk6" despite them not even being beakies.https://www.warhammer.com/en-EU/shop/horus-heresy-sons-of-horus-mk6-heads-2022https://www.warhammer.com/en-EU/shop/death-guard-mk6-heads-2022?queryID=e652387bf94cb8b6b54786157bf7f1bchttps://www.warhammer.com/en-EU/shop/world-eaters-mk6-heads-2022?queryID=e652387bf94cb8b6b54786157bf7f1bchttps://www.warhammer.com/en-EU/shop/dark-angels-mk6-heads-2022?queryID=e652387bf94cb8b6b54786157bf7f1bchttps://www.warhammer.com/en-EU/shop/iron-warriors-mkvi-heads-2022?queryID=e652387bf94cb8b6b54786157bf7f1bcComment too long.

>>97384857Thats Moby
To be honest, anons. I am still glad I placed a huge order at my fav chinaman last month, so that I still got to assemble my pure male Custodes army, with my wife's son.Fuck these matchstick troon custodes
>>97383286>>97383807They definitely have some guidelines they HAVE to follow usually, you can't convince me eavy metal doesn't know how to paint female faces.That being said sometimes they're let off the hook. The darkwater stuff was a definite cut above what they're usually allowed to do. Compare the paintjob of the blight templars in that game compared to the blight kings of end times. Crazy difference.
>>97384867have custodes legs always looked like gay stormcast suits? I can't see anything else from the bottom half
>>97385134Most GW releases were painted about a year and a half ago and each franchise gets a separate team which is why the best painted models are always necromunda. 40k and sigmar are more like assembly lines at this point to get them out asap but box sets get special attention.

For some time now, I've been developing my free game, an RPG/strategy interactive fiction simulator about a Dark Lord/Lady trying to conquer/destroy a fantasy world using intrigue, corruption, dark magic, and brutal military force.I have already sought and received your help several times, for which I am grateful.I am planning another major update, focusing primarily on the endgame. Players focused on direct conquest will have new ways to find loot—portals to crazy, Lovecraftian worlds, discovering new lands, and a magical slumber to wait for the rebirth of old enemies/the emergence of new ones (and seeing how the world changes in their absence). For players more interested in the less brutal side of world domination, the options for managing the territories of our empire will be expanded. Will you allow orcs to overrun Dark Elf cities? Will schools focus on training engineers for the army and economy, or on brainwashing them into blind obedience? Furthermore, I'm expanding the Dark Lord's interactions with other characters, including available romances. Of course, new content requires testing, and since, as usual, it's highly non-linear and dependent on player decisions (plus random generation), I can't test every combination myself.That's why I'm seeking the help of testers. Here is test version - no need for download, it is playable online in the browser, no need to register or download: https://adeptus7.itch.io/playtesting

>>97384224https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1DlP_f3ur4
>>97384224Mechanically, penalize excessive violence or excessive participation in violence. Either through classic PTSD style trauma, or (more appropriately for your murderhobo-types) dissociative violent outbursts that the player isn't in control of anymore. Upside is this will mechanically enforce negative feelings towards violence without completely creating nonsense consequences; downside is that this measure takes control of the character's mentality away from the player, which is often disliked by the players.Practically, the more important thing than any direct mechanical consequence is players buying into a grittier game where rampant slaughter of their enemies isn't going to be consequence-free. It is incredibly difficult to make someone care deeply about something when they don't care at all to begin with.
>>97384224I just present them as human. It's that easy. Have them try to flee when things go bad, have them plead for their lives when caught, have them do mistakes or panic in battle.

Any predictions on the lore? I.e what are your predictions on future characters or story/world development? Do you think any particular faction is going to be fleshed out or introduced? Do you think theres a subject that will be expanded upon more, i for example think the door in hell that the church of metamorphosis will always be a mystery until the conclusion of the game
First game of TC today, hype for it. Not used to warband style of playing.
>>97385110>>97367498This is something I figured would be a thing one day, like how Warhammer does campaigns. There would be a united Christian effort to retake Constantinople.
>>97385110I agree about the Door, aren't the church trying to find out how the door works themselves? Seems like a very end-game question for the group.
